I had a blast talking with Neil and Leighton about yet another film from one of my favourite directors, John Carpenter. Big Trouble in Little China is a film that could only have been made in the 1980’s and this discussion was great fun. Hope you enjoy it.

In Rashomon (1950), ambiguity arises from four contradictory views of a murder. With no objective perspective, each witness - bandit, wife, slain samurai, and woodcutter - revises the crime in relation to their interest, turning a single event into incompatible accounts.

Toshirō Mifune in Rashōmon (1950)
Captured in a piercing, sun-drenched close-up, Toshirō Mifune delivers a visceral portrait of raw physical intensity as the volatile bandit Tajōmaru in Akira Kurosawa’s cinematic masterpiece Rashomon (1950). Sweat glistens across his brow and cheekbones beneath the oppressive heat, while his narrowed, predatory gaze and furrowed brow radiate an unpredictable mixture of suspicion, pride, and feral defiance. Bound in a coarse, dark cloth head-wrap over disheveled hair, Mifune's weathered features and dark stubble reflect the untamed existence of an outlaw living on the margins of society. The photograph evokes a palpable sensory environment: the stifling, humid heaviness of the ancient forest, the relentless drone of summer cicadas echoing through the canopy, the abrasive scrape of rough-woven hemp against dust-streaked skin, and the blinding glint of high-noon sunlight breaking through the leaves.
As the film that catapulted post-war Japanese cinema onto the global stage, Rashomon redefined narrative storytelling through its revolutionary exploration of subjective memory, human vanity, and moral ambiguity. Adapted from Ryūnosuke Akutagawa’s short stories "In a Grove" (Yabu no Naka) and "Rashōmon," the plot constructs four conflicting testimonies surrounding a single violent encounter in the woods. Mifune’s landmark performance turned the traditional samurai-era villain into a kinetic, animalistic force, seamlessly fusing explosive physical theatricality with deep psychological insecurity. Collaborating with visionary cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa, Kurosawa famously used angled mirrors inside the dense forest set to bounce harsh, natural sunlight directly onto the actors' faces, creating a striking visual rhythm that visually manifests the fractured, elusive nature of truth.
